Suspected of killing Vera Donovan, her wealthy employer, Dolores Claiborne tells police the story of her life, harkening back to her disintegrating marriage and the suspicious death of her violent husband, Joe St. George, thirty years earlier. Dolores also tells of Vera's physical and mental decline and of her loyalty to an employer who has become emotionally demanding in recent years.

Review of 'Dolores Claiborne' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I liked the story, the witty language, and the sad parts too. It takes imagination to tell a whole story in first person. And Stephen King is the man with the imagination!

This probably was a candidate for the short story collections, I am glad it stands alone. I like that it was a quick book to read, after reading 3 books with over 1000 pages in the last two months.

I can count on Stephen King to provide a new way to tell the great story.
